At the now defunct redundant.com we used baytech strips with the ds-3 (not the circuit) modules to snmp enable the strips. We were able to control each port, and monitor load on each port. http://www.baytech.net/ I think we used the RPC22s and the DS-3 console server combo. It was a few years ago so my memory of what we did is a bit fuzzy. Regarding how accurate the modules are, the baytech gear would only be accurate to the tenths if my memory serves me, but they may have improved that since mid '03. -Justin On Sun, 7 Aug 2005, Mike Leber wrote:
There have been suggestions of good SNMP monitorable power strips here before, however I'm looking for a power strip with individually monitorable outlet current (via SNMP).
I've searched google for quite a while and can't seem to separate out such a beast from all the remote power management strips that just monitor aggregate usage.
I have an application where I need to record the variation in power consumption for individual devices over time. I need to monitor about 30 devices in 4 cabinets (8 devices per cabinet or so) in and have a budget of $4000. I'd like to be able to see current in milliamps or 10 milliamp increments. I'm looking for an off the shelf device.
If anybody can help me I'd certainly appreciate it.
